Have you ever made mug rugs? They are so much fun! I thought I'd make a couple so I can list the patterns in my shops, but now I can't stop. All this hand applique I've been doing is nice, but machine applique is so quick.
I have come to a couple of realizations while making these. First, the more you machine applique, the easier it gets and your skills improve very quickly. Second, the soft minty colors are so pretty and make a nice final product, however, they photograph like crap. And thirdly, I'm going to have to get online and order some more bobbins and another bobbin holder.
Oh yah, Punnkie helped me make them...
Those are really cute. It's good to have a cute assistant by your side when you're creating
ReplyDeleteReally cute! I agree with Ann about having an assistant. It's great to see your skills improving like that. I hope that the pattern does well.
ReplyDeleteha ha! Oh the price one pays for being so creative!
ReplyDeletevery cute, Sher!
I've thought of making something like that to put in the cup holders in my car.
PS: love your assistant!
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to have some crafty help. Your assistant is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your rug mugs look great too!
These are so cute Sher! I love the Coffee one, these would make GREAT stocking stuffers too!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour little helper is cute, looks like he works really hard helping you!
P.S.
ReplyDeleteYour adorable Gingerbread post inspired me, and I created a Gingerbread couple this weekend! Just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration!!!! :)
I will be putting them on my blog soon to introduce them into my Etsy Shop.
Love them...I'm sure your assistant was crucial to the process!
ReplyDeleteOh neat! I've had an idea for a Thanksgiving banner but wasn't quite sure how to do it. This makes sense and I think I'll try it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! They're sweet!

Punnkie is a very good assistant because those rugs look so cute!
ReplyDeleteHa! My assistant is my pound puppy. He keeps my feet warm as I craft :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Tux stays at my feet when I sew. But if he's feeling starved for attention, he sits on the pedal.
ReplyDeleteMug Rugs are very cool! I like that these have a specific purpose, too :) Punkie did a great job helping out :D Zach is my assistant. Machine applique sounds like a winner!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of those but they are adorable!
